I carry reasearches on tectonic geomorphology and quantitative geomorhology in order to understand the activity of the faults. I try to understand the recurrence interval of earthquakes, seismic behaviour of active faults and their segmentation characteristics. In order to determine the activity of faults, I investigate the imprints of the seismic activity on the morphology including hangging valleys, wine-glass valleys, triangular facets and geology including offset colluviums. By the help of morphometric analysis conducted on drainages, which are essential for the investigation of tectonic activity of the region, I differentiate the agent shaping the morphology. Keywords: Active Teconics, Tectonic Geomorphology, Quantitative Geomorphology.
